kim jong-un, the new young leader, succeeded where his father has failed. it is significant propaganda today victory. they're moving forward as one of the most sanctioned countries. bill: even with all the sanctions they pulled this off. they tried for years to make this happen and they have. two critical points we need to point out here. it is yet to develop a nuclear warhead small enough to fit on top of one of these missiles. that's a big deal. the other point is it has not tested a reentry vehicle that can with stand the heat of the atmosphere. so how effective today, steve? >> i think what it is, you're absolutely correct, they have not finished demonstrating a full capability to deliver this lethal capability at great distance. but unfortunately for us, by the time they have demonstrated that capability to a degree it is too late to negotiate with our allies or others a way to block them. what we really need now to insure the united states and others don't return to failed negotiating strategies of the past. recognize we have a real grave concern and

kim jong un wanted a real success to mark his first year in office. jon: by launching this missile does he get that credibility with the military this he's been looking for? >> i think that he does. there's been a lot of purges of senior military officers, about four or five months ago creating discontent among the senior staff. this probably will help him especially if they have the nuclear test which they just referred to. this is going to be a series of provocations that we'll have to endure unless we do something, and we do have the ability to do something. jon: they are the most sanctioned nation on earth as james was just mentioning. do we have any leverage at all. >> of course we have. in 2005 the bush administration imposed financial sanctions that crippled north korea. we need to interdict north korean shipping because they are going to sell this missile to iran. an embargo is not out of the question. they are a year, maybe 18 months from being able to wipe out an american city at will. we don't have a missile defense system that is reliable
